Cloud 9 The Original Iron Review

After 10 + years on a set of classic GHD, i decided it was time for an upgrade.

I have huge, frizzy, curly, thick hair which is a nightmare to straigten.

With GHD i found my hair looked boring, lifeless and frizzy not to mention so so dry if I straightened often.

Now that I have changed I would never ever go back. This iron locks in moisture, adds shape into the hair whilst still making it perfectly straight.

I love that it comes with a heat resistant cover and bag and it is honestly so worth the investment.

If you have coloured hair bleached hair or fine hair this is the straightener for you. (Also suitable for thick course hair) This straightener has a heat adjuster which is a must if your hair is coloured or fine. Try it on different heat settings as the lowest heat the better it is for your hair, Glides easily through the hair without dragging which is especially important when creating curls. As a professional hairdressing tutor and ex salon owner I wouldn't use anything else

I wouldn't recommend any other hair straightener than a cloud 9. I have had mine for over 5 years now and its still going strong. Touch wood. They are great for my hair type which is thick, course and fizzy. I previously owned a GHD which didn't keep the fizz at bay where the cloud 9 does and it makes my hair feel so much better than other straightners ever did. It heats up quickly. Has an automatic switch off for those odd times you may leave it on with out realizing as well which is brilliant for people like me who are forgetful. The cord is really long so your able to be a long way from the inlet and they are really easy to clean and maintain. Well worth the money!!!!

Four months ago I was spoilt for my birthday and my husband brought me a pair of cloud 9's. I had been using the same pair of Ghd's for the past 8 years and I always thought they were amazing up until i got my coloud 9's and boy had I been missing out. These cloud 9's are amazing!! They glide through my hair without pulling at all. And I can straighten my whole head of hair within a max of 5 minutes. The next day if i feel my hair needs a little touch up I only need to straighten it on the middle setting and touch up the ends.

Over all the most amazing straightener ever!!

I spent ages reading different reviews between the GHD and Cloud 9 straighteners. Eventually I decided on this one and I don’t regret it one little bit!

These have a variable heat setting so are suitable for any hair and any style. They only take about 20-30 seconds to reach temperature, and hold the heat beautifully.

The plates are super smooth with curved edges so move through the hair without any snagging, and are perfect for both straightening and curling. I can make tight ringlets or loose waves easily and even though I have a huge amount of hair, it works super fast without any horrible burning or over heating.

The long cord is brilliant for being able to move around while using them, and the swivel base means the cord doesn’t get tangled or twisted.

These are definitely a worthwhile investment

So my GHD of many years had finally decided to leave me and I was left trying to decide between buying a cloud9 or GHD. After reading Atleast 100 reviews for multiple sites I choose the cloud9.

My experience with cloud9: I have naturally very curly and thick hair which usually takes about any hour to straighten with a GHD, however with the cloud9 it’s halved that time and leaves my hair straight all day. The temperature setting is also really great as you can set it to where you prefer. Would recommend investing in this rather than the new GHDs, there’s no real comparison.

I fell in love with my Cloud 9 straighteners 3 years ago and I will never look back. Before this I had GHD, new ones not the originals, I tried Remington, tresemme, babyliss but my hair never got that smooth straight look. It was straighter but quite often the humidity would destroy it. I bought my cloud 9 after saving and receiving a coupon and I have loved it. I had two break on me, just stopped working through a fault, and the customer service replace them straight away without question so keep the receipt! I would still recommend to anyone as this is the best straightener around, much better than GHD and I can get my hair as straight and sleek as my hairdresser at home.

So glad I bought this. Ive only used it twice and its done such a better job than any other I owned. My last pair of a different brand were wide plates, the new cloud 9 are standard plates and they take no longer to straighten my hair than the others, with an added bonus that I can actually curl my hair with these! Love the temperature settings so depending on my hairs stress levels I can change to suit.

When my ghd gave up the ghost I debated whether to get another one or get this cloud 9. Well I'm glad I made the right choice and converted to a cloud 9! I love this straightener, it heaps up quickly and the best thing is you can adjust the temperature! As someone which bleached/damaged hair I try to avoid to much heat so the fact the cloud 9 has this feature is definitely a saving grace!

Being an ex hairdresser I've had access to the best tools in the industry. When I first used these straighteners I was sold, they are far superior to anything else on the market. I have thick coarse frizzy hair and it tames my hair with ease. It's streamlined body makes it easy to handle and the curved edges means it's perfect for curling also. I've used them on other hair types and the heat control setting make it adaptable from very fine to very coarse. The smoothness of the plates means they don't catch or snag which is important with such a high heat range, so you don't risk burning your hair.
